Using partial dentures to restore the smile
Partial dentures are a restorative dentistry solution for our patients who are missing one or more teeth in the dental arch. These removable restorations are a highly desirable option, especially for those looking for an economical solution that might even be covered by their dental insurance. Drs. Jennifer Wahlen and John Torghele of Wahlen Dentistry in Perry, Utah, will discuss your oral health needs and help determine if you are a good candidate for partial dentures.
What are partial dentures?
Our dental team describes the partial denture appliance as a removable denture that replaces one or several teeth in the upper or lower dental arch. The partial denture has a metal framework designed to snap into the smile using the remaining teeth as supports. With partial dentures, patients can remove the dentures to clean them or have them adjusted by our dental team, ensuring longevity and proper functionality for many years to come.
Why should I consider a partial denture?
There are several benefits to using partial dentures to replace missing teeth. Partial dentures:
- Improve chewing and speaking abilities, allowing you to eat a broader range of your favorite foods and speak more clearly
- Prevent the existing natural teeth from shifting, which can cause bite issues and lead to further tooth loss
- Are a cost-effective option compared to other options such as dental implants, dental bridges, or implant-retained dentures
